The invention discloses a method for recycling
rare earth and aluminum from
ion adsorption type
rare earth ores. The method comprises the following steps: leaching the
ion adsorption type
rare earth ores by a leaching agent to obtain rare earth
leachate; then adding at least one of
magnesium chloride,
sodium chloride and
potassium chloride in the
leachate; and controlling the chloride
ion concentration, the temperature and the pH in a
precipitation process of a
calcium-alkali compound to achieve the purpose of increasing
solubility of
calcium sulfate and reduce generation of the
calcium sulfate in the
precipitation process. Meanwhile, under the related conditions of high
salinity and the like, the migration speeds of
rare earth ions and hydroxyl ions in a
precipitation system of
calcium oxide are reduced, the degree of
supersaturation of rare earth
hydrate is controlled effectively, and
crystal precipitates of the rare earth
hydrate is facilitated. By the method,
ammonia nitrogen pollution is eliminated, the rare earth recycling rate is increased, and aluminum resources are recycled comprehensively. Meanwhile, formation of calcium
sulfate in the precipitation process of the
calcium oxide is reduced, the production cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the product with the qualified purity is obtained. An
impurity removal process does not exist in the method, and therefore, loss of rare earth in the
impurity removal process can be avoided.
